The exhibit runs through Saturday, Oct. 15. Working with abstract assemblages that combine bones, bits of architecture and hand carved fruits and flowers, Onofrio’s pieces reflect an ongoing fascination and sensitivity to the complexities of life, mortality and the process of claiming one’s own universal experience. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and can be found in public and private collections worldwide. Sculpture by Judy Onofrio, exhibited at the UW-L Art Gallery Sept. 16-Oct. 15 will include: • “Niche,” animal bones, found objects and acrylic. • “Compote,” animal bones, found objects and acrylic.
